Chiang Mai Part 2

Nice cottage. For a moment, it doesn't even look like chiangmai. Feels more like some upcountry house in some temperate European country.

View of Chiangmai city on the way to Doi Suthep.

Huge water fountain at the top of the flower garden

H'mong Village

Ooooooo.. Marijuana leaves....

poppy flowers.. Was told that white and red ones are the more potent..

our 30 minutes "tourguide" She's the one sitting on the left. She just came up to us and offer to bring us around the village for a small fee which is to be decided by ourselves.

Front entrance of Doi Suthep. They said, if u did not go to Doi Suthep, u are considered never been to chiang mai.

seriously, i wished that guy did not pose for this picture. I am supposed to take a candid shot of him..

Lazing doggie on the temple ground

The main pagoda of Doi Suthep. It is believed the top contained the relic of Buddha, which is part of his skull bones.

Chiangmai 2007

Long overdue pictures form my recent chiangmai trip! Well Chiangmai is a pretty laid-back place, so dun expect anything really as happenin as Bangkok, or maybe we just dunno where to go. Anyway, the weather is nice, air is soooooo damn fresh that the moment i reach Sukumvit in bangkok, i was actually choking... Ppl in chiangmai do things in a slower pace, so it needs a little getting used to it when being Singaporeans, we expert services to be fast and brisk. Well u just have to sit back and enjoy, take your time, be nice in a place like chiangmai.
